WHO YOU SAY I AM
Verse 1: Who am I that the highest One would welcome me
I was lost but God brought me in
Oh God’s love for me, Oh God’s love for me

I’m a child of God, Yes I am
Verse 2: Free at last, God has welcomed me, God’s grace runs deep
While I was asleep inside
Christ awakened me, Christ awakened me
Chorus 2 Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, Yes I am
In God’s house of love, There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God, Yes I am
Bridge 1: I am chosen, not forsaken, I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me, I am who You say I am
I am chosen, not forsaken, I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me, I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am
Chorus 3 Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, Yes I am

I’m a child of God, Yes I am

DO IT AGAIN

I thought by now they’d fall. But You have never failed me yet
Tammy: Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle’s won. For You have never failed me yet
Chorus: Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness, I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
(Randy) Never failed me yet
Verse: I know the night won’t last, Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again, God, You are still enough
Keeping me in Your love, My heart will sing Your praise again
Chorus 2 Your promise still stands,
Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness, I’m still in Your hands,
This is my confidence, You’ve never failed,
Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness,
I’m still in Your hands, This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
Never failed me yet… Ohhhhhh
Bridge I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ll see You do it again OOHHHHH (pause)
Chorus 3: Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness

You’ve never failed, Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness, I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
Outro: Oh, You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget

“JOY TO THE WORLD”
Verse 1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let Earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Verse 2 Joy to the world, the Savior reigns! Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
Verse 4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love

Today’s Scripture
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9:6
